piazza front brakes would be worth bout $400-500 in good condition. As for the rear end it depends on what u buy. I scored front brakes (whole stub axle and tie rods) and a complete rear disk brake lsd rear end for $700 (no i won't b selling it) that's a pretty good price(mates rates) . Don't even think of a whole piazza rear end unless u get it real cheap as you have to get it shortened and grind the mounts off it (except the upper link)and weld gemmy mounts on. The upper link has to have a cross member welded onto the car and this requires a engineers certificate as the australian piazza's didn't have a torque tube but the early model japo versions did and would be the best of the bunch. unless u happen to score a zz/r rear end instead and that would just bolt in on sedan's and coupes. apparently diesel rear ends accept piazza rear discs with only minor mods.
